THAT BENEVOLENT HOME SCHOOL.

Three weeks ago a kind-hearted lady of
Wichita brought before the directors of
the Women Benevolent Home and Hos
pital d twenty-five cent scheme for col
lecting sufficient money TO erect the much
needed building. This scheme has proved
very effective in eastern cities and if
worked out will prove equally so here. 1t
is as follows:
Scheme-.'A" subscribes 81 90 and col
lects from eight others - cents each for the
object, and asks each of these eight .Bs"
10 find four others, 'Cs" who will each
give p cents, and promise to help bypass
ing on the request in the same way. That
is, C asks four DIS" each d. asks four
''Es;" each e. asks four ''Fs;' each ''F''
asks four "GS;' then each C. asks ten
people for % cents each, and the scheme is
at an end
Twenty-Five cents is a sum within the
ability of most to give and many would be
willing to give that several times over
for such charitable objects were they So
Gcited.
This scheme will bring $4,000 to the
home if none of the branches, as one might
call them, break off Now this tree has
has been planted in the fertile Wichita
SOIL but it needs some patient labor 10
make it grow 10 its outmost branches
and those holding blanks of these schemes
are urged to make an effort and not let
their branches die for lack of interest
Each lady holding blank has surely four
friends, each one as kind-hearted as her
self, and should any be disheartened in
the work, we would say. come TO the home
attend one of the board meetings, hear the
sad tales of suffering humanity and look
in contrast at your own happy homes, and
this THANKSGIVING tide will you not respond
TO the small call on your
